So happy I took the leap and bought my munchkin Mitzi from British Dynasty Cattery. Lina was very informative & a pleasure to talk to in person when I met her at the Portland airport. She is very knowledgable & a reliable breeder. I currently live in Las Vegas so I took an affordable & quick flight to bring Mitzi home in person. I was able to take her in the cabin & have her by me in her comfy carrier the whole time. The pink feather toy Lina gave me (amongst a few other things to get me started & ensure Mitzi was cozy her first days home) is Mitzi's favorite, we play together with it every day. I have had her for almost 1 month now & she is just the sweetest kitty baby (4 months on Feb 2nd). The veterinarian was impressed with how happy of a kitten she was, how much she purred, & how delightfully cute she is. Her health check came back all good. When meeting Lina you sign a contract & she gives you some good advice on care, kitty maintenance, diet, etc. I felt this was important & appreciated that the breeder takes the time to provide such information to her new cat owners. It really showed me she was invested in were & what type of home her kittens would go to. Overall, Lina is a responsible breeder in my book. I feel like it was a blessing to have adopted a cat from her when there are so many fake sites out there. I found her cattery through the TICA website. Lastly, one word of advice. For new munchkin cat owners, keep in mind they have shorty legs especially when kittens. I bought her a litter box that was low enough for her to hop in & out of. read more

We got Bee from British Dynasty a little over a year ago, and she's now about 1.5 years old now. I visited the cattery and fell in love with her as soon as she settled in my arms. We love her so much!! She is so sweet and gentle and keeps me company all day while working from home. She also has a big goofy side to her and keeps us very entertained. I can't imagine life without her. At her check-up a few months ago, the vet said she was very healthy. She had a few flareups with digestive issues and colds, but I do believe those were stress-related from when we moved homes. Now that she has settled in, she's doing great. Lina is super knowledgeable, and it is clear she cares about her cats. She has always been responsive, even after I brought Bee home. If you are thinking about a BSH, see if you can facetime/visit to find the right cat for you, it makes a big difference! read more

When we adopted our cat from British Dynasty my mom and I were so impressed and appreciative of how well our cat had been socialized. The effort Galina had made with our cat (Darkness) is evident in almost every interaction. Darkness is so gentle, and great about being handled/groomed even when she isn't happy about it. At her first vet check, everyone remarked about how beautiful, healthy, and well behaved she was. They could tell she came from a place where she was very well cared for. We also really appreciated how knowledgeable Galina was about the breed and the info she shared about the importance of diet. I left feeling really good about the experience and tell everyone I know about the info I learned from British Dynasty. Story time: We got Darkness at the beginning of the pandemic after the loss of two family members. At the same time a close friend experienced a similar loss and similarly adopted two kittens, but through a backyard breeder. Within a few months they lost one kitten due to a genetic heart defect (one that is British Dynasty and other reputable breeders routinely screen for). When they were able to get another kitten, it also passed within weeks from FIP contracted before they got him. Her experience has really made me appreciate what a positive difference adopting from a reputable can make. In the two years since, everyday (this will sound cheesy but it's true) I'm grateful I was able to get my cat from British Dynasty. From adoption to now, this has been my best experience with a pet ever. Darkness is such a character, and smart. She's independent and pretends to do her own thing, 9/10 she's laying nearby me just out of sight. Even the people in my life who were indifferent to cats have come to love her Thank you so much for all your care and hard work! read more

Lina emailed me after a week of silence. I thought we were just going to leave the situation alone, since I did not end up buying a kitten from her. This email came out of nowhere. She called me a "little girl" and was very condescending towards me, saying she knows so much more than I do and just because of my education (I work in the veterinary field) doesn't mean that I know anything about the "right way" to buy a cat. This was very offensive, not only to me but for all the animals and people she has hurt. Other reviewers have said their kittens ended up having ring worm and one has died. None of these things are the buyers fault, but Lina's fault. She is the one who is not doing things the "right way." British Dynasty/Lina G needs to be shut down. read more

I got my cat from Lina a couple of months ago. He was perfectly healthy and affectionate as a kitten at Lina's cattery. No ringworm issue for my cat. My cat was at 4 month age (older than the usual age most kitten get reserved ) when I discovered him in Lina's cattery, so I was surprised why nobody wanted to take him home at that time. I've always wanted a chunky tabby British shorthair boy (Lina showed me his parents' photo and both of them are strong and beautiful) After communicating with Lina via email and meeting her in person, I feel she loves and cares about her cats very much. I remember she has a long list of instructions about caring for the kitten and she walked me through all of them in detail when I first met her picking up my cat. Side note: Lina is very straightforward throughout the whole process, which I liked a lot ( I understand English is not her first language and there could be some miscommunication if not paying attention) read more

British Dynasty Cattery - Pet Breeders Near Me

This cattery is a scam. Do not purchase from them. They mention a lot on their website about scammers, but this is just to deter you from thinking they are a scam. I inquired about one of their kittens, was given no further information or photos of the cat, and was told I wasn't thinking properly when I had requested a video of the cat with todays date written. This is 100% a scam. read more

I am so happy I found Lina, owner of British Dynasty Cattery. She is passionate about her cats and kittens! I brought home my beautiful sweet chocolate boy a week before Christmas 2021. He adjusted very quickly to our home and our Chihuahua. They are now "besties". Lina is a reputable and honest breeder. Her cats are exquisite with the sweetest temperaments. You get what you pay for and my kitten was worth every penny. I've always adopted pound kitties and taken in strays. This kitten is one the best purchases I've ever made. Thank you Lina! read more

He is worth his weight in gold! Here is a picture of him watching me do yard work read more

British Dynasty Cattery - Rupurrrt my love - Pet Breeders Near Me

We purchased a kitten from Galina A. Benko , British Dynasty. Our kitten was sick from day one. He had multiple health issues and has eventually died. Galina was very rude and hostile in her response. She accused our veterinarian and us of not taking care of the kitten properly. We have a great cat-friendly house, we always had cats and we never had a kitten dying on us. Unlike other Reputable Breeders out there, this breeder does not give a health guarantee. She has no customer service concept. read more

My beautiful British Shorthair kitty is from British Dynasty, and she is the sweetest, loveliest cat ever. My family brought her home at the start of the pandemic lockdown, and she has provided endless warmth and entertainment to our household ever since. We don't know how we would have gotten through without her! She is a curious, playful, and trusting feline in excellent health, so I'm confident she was bred and raised with the highest of standards. I'm surprised by other reviews I've read about British Dynasty because my experience with Lina and her kitties has been entirely positive. read more

British Dynasty Cattery - Pet Breeders Near Me

I have read through all the other reviews that people have left about this cattery and I totally agree with all the reviews that gave this Lina person a 1 star. I sent her a long email about my family, budget and questions about cats since it would be my first time deciding to buy a cat and so it went smoothly at first and she told me that she had kittens in my price range. So I thought great and asked if I could see some pictures since she didn't have them on her website and she did send them but when i was kindly inquiring about the female about her eye size since it looked a bit odd(size difference) and she replied extremely rudely like i was in shock by how a breeder would talk back like that with a potential new customer. I then emailed her saying that i apologize if i offended her in any way and she just never responded. I am extremely upset with my experience with her and have no clue how some of these people face her 5 star review, my experience with her was not pleasant at all! $2,600 for a kitten with a deformed eye.. no thanks rather pick one up from the streets and give it a good home. UPDATE! Lina is a bit of a stalker haha she not only found my previous work place but also insulted my health. So much for being professional All in all take caution when emailing her. I have blocked her email and number so she cannot harass me anymore. read more

Our kitten died shortly after we got her. She was in poor health, our vet bills went over $3,000 to keep her hanging. She still died. The breeder was rude and refused to give us refund. the breeder was blaming us - the owners - for not taking care of the kitten properly. read more

People get scammed all the time so naturally, as any cautious buyer, I inquired for more pictures of the kitten. Lina's website SAYS to do this. However, Lina's response was less than satisfactory and downright discourteous. Shown in pictures below, she does not practice what she preaches and I have no idea how this cattery made it to TICAs website. This is scammer and backyard breeder behavior. LINA IS SUS! Do not buy from this Cattery! read more

I got a beautiful healthy kitten from Lina almost two years ago. She is the sweetest healthiest cat I've owned. So much so that I have gone back to her a second time to get another kitten. She is NOT a scammer she is a reputable breeder who has made many many families very happy. English is her second language and sometimes that creates misunderstandings but I certainly would never expect a breeder to let me into their home to walk around with dirty shoes and who knows what sickness. In this day and age it's a disaster waiting to happen. My family and I can't wait to meet our second kitten as we have had nothing but good experiences with Lina and British Dynasty Cattery. read more

I have not adopted (yet) but have had the pleasure of meeting quite a few of the available kittens and cats. I feel like these cats eat better than me! I have never met a more friendly breed, that allowed me to pick up and love on them. I wish I could have brought home all of them. The owner/breeder has answered all my questions with so much knowledge and I even met the parents of the kittens I was looking at. She really has some of the best looking cats I've seen, and can't wait to hopefully give one the perfect home someday soon. I wish I could reach out to anyone looking for a purebred kitten because these really are the best I've seen in the area. read more

I was about to buy cat full price, and just in case decided to negotiate the price. Immediately Galina refused not only my offer but also abrupt any business with me in the future.

We became roommates with a BSH kitten from British Dynasty at the end of 2020. My wife and I grew up with dogs, and this was our first cat. From the start, it was clear that he was well cared for and socialized. He adapted quickly to our family, goes on vacation with us, and gets along well with our kids' friends. He's been a joy. We play tag and hide'n'seek, he curls up in our beds, and he's won over many a Zoom meeting. We're cat people now, and are working with Lina on getting a second! read more

We got our cat from Lina and she is really the most loving and affectionate cat. In many ways she taught us so much about how to care for her. Lina obviously loves her cats and cares for them. She asked me what I was feeding her and gave me suggestions that made me feel confident that she was very attuned to their needs. I hope to get another cat from her in the near future. read more

When I was looking for Breeders to buy from, I was very wary of scammers. Ultimately I felt safe and comfortable with Lina because we could find British Dynasty through 'The International Cat Association' (TICA, https://tica.org/british-shorthair-breeders?view=article&id=1669:cattery-britishdynasty&catid=102). I purchased a Selkirk rex kitten from Lina a little under a year ago, and have been nothing but enthralled and overjoyed with this cat's presence. Reaching out to Lina about the cats, she was very straight forward about what we should expect and the timeline for receiving the cat. When we picked up the cat she was very welcoming into her home, presented and went through in detail medical information regarding the cat such as important deadlines about when to get the cat neutered and helpful dietary tips. She cares so much for her cats and was very serious about the information she presented to us, and treats each cat with the highest possible attention. After we brought the cat home, it was apparent to us this cat had been taken care of very well as the cat was socialized, potty trained and adapted to us very fast. Lina is very responsive to our emails, and the cat has been worth every penny I spent and more. read more
